Exciting! Looking forward to it, it’s so needed! (Someday people will take your essays and publish them as book like they did with Land who thought publishing blogs is better than working with a publisher for 2+ years to write on)
The more people go after Jon, the more I am in it for the long haul. This is one of the most dishonest and disgusting attempts at personal destruction I’ve witnessed, including cancel culture and Hollywood. Every one of them knows that they are lying.
Appreciate the update and lessons you have gleaned through your participation in the censorship vehicles of social media promoting “free speech”. It seems free speech is only for those willing to sell their souls and or moral compass to be liked, elevated in the constant soap opera of geo-politics or simply good old fashioned greed.
I find myself turning to Substack more and more for my dose of social media. I’ve given up on constant noise from most of the other platforms out there.
Thank you Chris Paul for all you share. Yours is a voice of sanity that has helped me to continually piece together the moving parts of this geopolitical world and has served as a reminder to what’s really important.
Appreciate you and look forward to more on Substack from you. Can’t wait for your book.
Bravo! I agree with everything you said. It's such a shame that individual voices like yours are treated unfairly when pedestrian nonsense is heralded on "mainstream alternative" media sites. Did I just say that? This seems to be a good platform. At least, I have found that the writing and conversations here are more interesting and of a higher quality. There is nothing like your voice on X which has unfortunately been reduced to a gossip column. Did you make the decision to stop doing the Badlands shows? You will be sorely missed there. So, I look forward to drinking from your wealth of knowledge and absorbing your philosophy. Thank you, good sir.
Thanks for the update Chris. Excited for your book when it comes out. New merch looks “dope” man, definitely going to get some. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours
Thank you for the update Chris. I look forward to your book & whatever else you do. I absolutely love your unique sense of humor. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you & your Family!
I love the new designs! They all bring something to the table and are just dynamic enough to illicit questions from people paying attention (though few they may be). I love the mushroom cloud snowglobe "human" (turtles all the way down! 😆). There's so much packed into that one, I'm gonna have to get two of 'em cause I'm sure I'm gonna wear them out pretty quickly. Q&A sessions sounds like a splendid idea and take your time on that epic tome of yours - I have a stack of books about a hundred tall I'm working through. Adding yours to the top of the list will be an easy choice. Cheers, my good sir, and a merry Christmas to you and yours! :)
Makes perfect sense to me. Thank you for taking the time to lay it out and for continuing to be a great example of a person actually behaving as if they truly believe the things they say. It's refreshing, honestly.
Thank you! People are scared to change, but change is coming regardless, so it’s better to change by choice and adapt while others are refusing to move forward.
Congratulations Chris! Identifying wastes of time and energy and recalibrating is such necessary growth. I had the chance to speak with you briefly in Deadwood 2024, and explained that I had always anticipated the direction of social media to be used as a tool of censorship and control, that I had refused for the most part to lurk or participate until after the events of Jan. '21. It is unfortunate that the social media experiment may prove to be a failure for humanity. I anticipate that Authenticity will be of far more worth in the future of "Everything is Fake", for example, handwritten and delivered news/letters, maybe to the point of speeches being given in town squares again if morale improves. Thank you for having messages so exceptional most of the world aren't prepared to thoughtfully consider and for sharing them.
Chris, I hope to upgrade here, but im living on social security & have to get thru the holidays, for now.
Curious, if my monthly subscription is different than a founding member? What are the perks? Must I have the app to gain more of your work, bcuz I do not have the app at this time. I need a new phone w/more space, bcuz I can't download more apps right now. But I love your work & am not on X or telegram, so I do what I can to support you. Definitely looking forward to your book release.
Merry Christmas & wish you a happy, healthy & peaceful New Year.
I was wondering if the articles will be in the book! It is very impressive that they won’t be! So much great writing!
Thanks! Yeah, maybe a passage here or there, and certainly some broad ideas will be in both, but the book will be original work.
Exciting! Looking forward to it, it’s so needed! (Someday people will take your essays and publish them as book like they did with Land who thought publishing blogs is better than working with a publisher for 2+ years to write on)
Thanks for the informative message. Great to know your output will remain; it's invaluable. Wherever you'll be, I'll be there! Best regards, BK!
Thank you!
Ditto here.
Invaluable.
And thank you!
Merry Christmas.
Thank you!
Will we continue to see you on Badlands?
For sure. Those are my friends and I care a great deal about that project.
Speaking for myself (maybe everyone) - that answer makes me very happy.
Thank you for the work you do.
The more people go after Jon, the more I am in it for the long haul. This is one of the most dishonest and disgusting attempts at personal destruction I’ve witnessed, including cancel culture and Hollywood. Every one of them knows that they are lying.
Even if the only change in the world were being more loyal to our friends and family, we’d already be in a much better place.
Thank You Chris, Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to You and Yours 🙏♥️💪.. 🤗😁
🙏🏻🙏🏻
I support this.
Not on twit, rarely log into TS.
Outside of gmoney, ghost and one or two others, TG has really become so tiresome. Been debating dropping off TG altogether lately.
Thank you CP ... Love, Gratitude n Respect... Happy Merry Holly Jolly Christmas Etc to you n urs as well. 🎄

Thank you! I agree completely.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too Chris. Thanks for the update, the new merch looks amazing!

No, Badlands is a project I care a lot about and I would never bail on Jon. I’m really just leaving more social media platforms, that’s all.
Very good news! Thanks Chris!

Thank you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Brother, I continue to pray for you and your family. When I'm able to, I'll contribute more. In the meantime, I trust God to lead and bless you!
Thank you! I appreciate it. 🙏🏻

That’s very kind of you to say. Thank you. And I agree that authenticity will be the way of the future.

You’re doing plenty right here! Don’t worry about a thing. You’ll be in the chat and have access to everything.
You're so sweet. Blessings to you.
